Oh okay, I'l try to find a local.

And can someone answer my feeding question?
 
Would the scissors of the crawdad hurt a lungfish? By big I am thinking those RED 5"!!
And can it be raw market shrimp(the gray ones)

How much was he fed a day?

You break the claws off. Sounds cruel, but that is part of nature. You always feed raw shrimp. Never cooked.

Put a few crayfish in the tank and he will eat them when he wants. Fed him market shrimp twice a week and 2 large jumbo ones each time.
 
Can it be those pre-cooked frozen ones?(i think boiled)

So I only feed lungfish 2wice a week? and on those feeding days 2 large shrimp? (i'm guessing 4")

what about the young ones?
and can pellets be the main part of their diet?

I kept crayfish in the tank all the time. If I put two in there one day and the next day they were gone I put 2 more in and they may not get eaten for 2 days. It all depends on the fish.

As for pellots I have never had a lungfish that ate pellots. I had an African Lungfish here that would only eats Raw Shrimp. Nothing else. It depends on the fish. You can vary a diet all you want, but if the fish dosen't eat it then it dosen't matter.
 
thanks for the info!
